Sometimes a honeypot is a welcome sight but when it is outside your dining room window it is urban blight.

Journal Experimenting

I have been experimenting with different types of journal writing. This past spring I tried keeping a bullet journal.

It was a little to intense and I went back to my Handy Dandy Notebook. I basically use a cheap spiral to schedule and keep notes in. I have streamlined it a little based on some ideas I got from the bullet journal method. I am keeping my scribbles under my schedule for the week. This made it a bit easier to access my notes. I also liked the symbols for looking stuff up.

This past week I have been using Life as Mom's post it note to do list. I love that my too do list is on a post it notes. If it doesn't fit on a post it, you don't do it. I do a lot of scribbling of notes and this doesn't really accommodate this though I can put those on the backside of the paper. I am finding myself accomplishing more. That is always a good thing.

Journaling and to do lists are so personal. I am constantly tweaking my journal/schedule/to do list. I know that I am a jotter and I have to have a landing place/writing place for all my notes. The spiral solved that but it still isn't always easy to access my notes. So I am working on that part.
